- Customs Duties and Charges: For shipments to non-EU countries, any customs duties, import taxes or local taxes are payable by the recipient and are not included in the total order amount or in the shipping charges.
3. Couriers and Shipment Tracking
- All our shipments are entrusted to leading express couriers (e.g. DHL, FedEx, UPS, GLS and BRT).
- As soon as the order is handed over to the courier, the customer will receive a shipping confirmation email containing a link and tracking number (tracking code) to monitor the delivery status in real time.
4. Delivery Methods and Receipt of Goods
- Deliveries are made at street level during normal business hours, Monday to Friday.
- Upon receipt of the parcel, we recommend that the customer check the integrity of the packaging. If the parcel is visibly damaged, tampered with or wet:
- Accept the parcel and write "Accepted subject to specific inspection" on the courier's delivery receipt, clearly stating the reason (e.g. "crushed packaging" or "open box").
- Photograph the packaging and the damaged products.
- Contact our Customer Service team within 48 hours of receipt so that we can open a claim with the carrier.
5. Incomplete Addresses or Failed Delivery
- Please check the shipping address entered at checkout carefully, including the street number, postcode, name displayed on the intercom and, where applicable, the relevant company contact.
- If delivery cannot be completed because the address is incorrect or the recipient is repeatedly absent, any storage and redelivery charges may be charged to the customer.
